Seaton, Oct. 7.—Lawrence D. Shively of Seaton was instantly killed Tuesday afternoon when he was crushed under a corn sheller. The accident occurred about 3:30 o’clock on the lane leading from the Homer Clark farm near Belmont, 6 miles southwest of Seaton. Mr. Shively was employed by Roy Rader and son Edward, the latter being the driver of the tractor drawing the sheller. They had finished shelling at the Clark farm and were enroute from there when the hitch broke letting the sheller loose. Mr. Shively was on the sheller and was thrown into the path as it overturned several times. Dr. H. D. Stites of Aledo was called but Mr. Shively was dead before he arrived. Coroner Mellor of Henderson county conducted an investigation and several witnesses told of the accident. The remains were taken to the Sherrard funeral home in Aledo, pending the arrival of relatives who will attend to the funeral arrangements. His mother Mrs. J. W. Shively is expected from Braymer, Mo., today and also a brother Wm. from the same place.
Lawrence Shively was 58 years old. He came here in 1917 from Missouri and was employed on farms in this vicinity for many years. He made his home in Seaton.
